yes but there is a scene in the novel where taek joo dreams about getting raped and woke up with a boner so he is not normal anyways
Is this after he was raped?
That’s kind of fucked up to say and reinforces the stereotype that if you’re aroused, it’s not sexual assault. Doesn’t mean he’s not “normal,” just means he’s a person dealing with extreme trauma.
Totally agree. Trauma from extreme abuse manifest in different ways. Getting a boner from rape doesn't mean you like getting SAd. If a person did get aroused from dreaming or thinking about rape, it could be his trauma response or coping mechanism. Like it's a very complicated situation and couldn't be downplayed as "not normal anyways"
Agree 100% I read the novel and it's one of the worst novel I've read
i know and agree %100 but taek joo is really not normal even in the train he got a boner for dreaming his finger getting chopped off.
Nah, he got a boner dreaming zhenya is gonna do it with him again (rape) but I think it's just a physical reaction for people? Anyway, he still not normal or just plain stupid for still falling for zhenya
novel had 0 conversation between them and we didn't get to hear about their thoughts so it's hard to tell why he fell in love.
They didn't but the way I see it, looks like tj did fall for him or at least has affection for him
tj fall for him but did he have any other option? It was so forced that ski part was the only thing wholesome in that island arc and he fell in love there
Well he's a total masochist and funny how you're saying that you'll fall for the person who hurt u really bad because you got trapped in that island and that person did something that makes u're heart doki doki and that you have no choice but to fall for him? Lol
How could the author let them end up together after the seme do all this fucked up this. Based on spoilers, he did a lot of damage and just get away with it?
